doompub: Prosody has mod_much_limits, for example

About that invalid reaction emojis, FWIW in matrix I've seen reactions abused by using english words. The use-case was a "github bot" which would send a message like "new PR opened at <url>" then react to its own message with "🟠️ Tests pending" and finally update with sth like "🟢️ Tests OK". Now I'm not saying it's good design or anything, just sharing what I've seen there :)

Element (matrix client) would just display that full text in a "bubble" just like actual emojis. I don't even know if that's valid by the spec, but Element seemed to not mind.

the line between useful and abuse is very thin

A XEP where you can safely ignore all business rules

it was a different world in 2008

> Because some users might not want this feature to disturb them, a client MUST either (1) allow the user to disable support or (2) disable the feature

a XEP that mandates GUI preference options in a client with a MUST

you MUST not disturb your users

Which xep is this?

the one i posted the link to 4 messages ago

i want to bring attention back at some point to Gajim, but seeing as this standard is so misguided, i wonder if we should not publish a new one

Ah, i see. I only implement that in muc right now so it follows the notify preferences for the muc

I agree most of the business rules are silly, but probably we can just change/remive most of them

Doesn't affect the protocol at all, the protocol seems good
